I haven’t made much progress since I made this one of my goals. I still open my big mouth and say things that I don’t mean… or I say something without thinking first and then I’m left wondering… did I say that out loud? I really need to work on this before I alienate the entire world.
I can knock out two of my goals at once with this one. I’ve never seen the ocean, so I guess when I go to the beach for my first time, I can do this one. I just have one question… what kind of message do you put in a bottle?
One of my relatives noticed a month ago and asked if I was growing my hair long again. I didn’t think it was noticable yet, but hey – I guess it is! I haven’t had long hair in nine years. It was so long and pretty I don’t know why I ever cut it.
Well, I weigh somewhere between 165 and 170 pounds. Before I had my daughter I weighed about 118. I’m hoping to be back to between 110 and 120. I realize this may not be easy with my under-active thyroid. I am pretty determined, though. I’m hoping to reach my goal weight before next year.
I don’t know if it counts, but I got to do some face painting at my daughter’s elementary school today. I had a lot of fun painting their cute little faces. I think I will go get some paints this weekend so I can paint here at home. I can’t wait.
I volunteered for my daughter’s field day at her elementary school. It was cool, because I got to do some face painting and spend time with my daughter. This may be the first time I’ve ever volunteered for anything. I will do it again.
I planted my first flowers. There are already some baby seedlings growing from the soil. They are so cute!! This was a very relaxing passtime. Worth it!
I notice I’ve gotten better at listening. I don’t interrupt the other person while they’re talking much anymore. I guess I can take this off the list now. :-)
I used to have a hard time remembering to take vitamins everday. Three days and I’d forget after that. I’ve been taking mine everyday now and I think I am beginning to feel better, despite my unhealthy eating habits. I feel like I have more energy lately. Vitamin B and Omega 3 supplements seem to be working great. I recommend these, especially if you’re vegetarian (like me).
I’m going to start my diet tomorrow. Note that my current weight is 157 lbs. My ideal weight is anything below 135 lbs. I think I can do this… if only I can lay off the pizza and beer.
I adopted two homeless kittens I found at my daughter’s school last September. Angel and Catman. I’m glad I took them both, because they would’ve been lost without one another.
Here is one of them… only four months later. He’s getting big!
I’ve controlled something that has been controlling me for so long. I’ve come a long way. True, at times I still get depressed, but who doesn’t? I think I can finally say “I’ve done this” and get on with my life.
Being positive is enough to change your life. You must make small steps. I suggest surrounding yourself with positive people and influences, accepting who you are and being happy with that, listening to positive music, and achieving necessary goals that have been holding you back. When you have always been around negative people and you have become that way yourself, it’s very difficult to change your way of thinking, but it is very possible so don’t give up! It will improve your life immensely and others will like being around you.
